Some exotic actions of finite groups on smooth 4-manifolds

Abstract

Using $G$-monopole invariants, we produce infinitely many exotic non-free actions of $\mathbb{Z}_{k}\oplus H$ on some connected sums of finite number of $S^{2}\times S^{2}$, $\mathbb{C}P_{2}$, $\overline{\mathbb{C}P}_{2}$, and $K3$ surfaces, where $k\geq 2$, and $H$ is any nontrivial finite group acting freely on $S^{3}$.
